Left Trigger o.k i've had my Xbox 360 for some time now and it still hasn't caused me any problems. But now my Left Trigger of my controller is stuck. It may not be pressed but the 360 belives that it is being pressed. How do i fix my contoller?

If you undo the screws from the underside of the controller and gently part the body just enough to see the back of the button, then spray a very small amount of WD40 or any lubricating liquid around the button and press button gently in and out to lubricate it.

The contact point on the left trigger might have failed already due to wear and tear since there are moving parts, and if there are moving parts there is friction thus likely could damage the contact point of trigger whenever being pressed. The might need to be replaced in that case.

Your controller has the ability to turn on the Xbox by pressing and holding the guide button. Check to make sure it is not stuck on any of your controllers. The Xbox can also pick up regular remote signals. One of your other remotes (if you have any) may be interfering with it. If your Xbox came with a media remote, make sure none of its buttons are stuck. Also, fluorescent lights (the swirly bulbs and the long, narrow bulbs) can sometimes trigger things. Another thing could be a Wii remote (if you own a Wii). There could be the rare possibility that it or the light bar is causing this problem. Sorry for the long message. I hope this helps!

for PS3, hold the power button for at least 5 seconds or until you hear a second beep.
